Maternity reflexology offers various benefits for both the mother and baby during pregnancy. For the mother, it can help alleviate common discomforts such as nausea, back pain, swelling, and stress. It promotes relaxation, improves sleep quality, and supports hormonal balance.

Additionally, it may assist in preparing the body for labor by encouraging optimal pelvic alignment, stimulating the endocrine system to produce hormones to help with the onset of labour and reducing anxiety.

For the baby, maternity reflexology indirectly benefits by creating a more relaxed environment within the mother’s body. Reduced stress levels and improved circulation can positively impact the baby’s well-being in the womb. However, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional before undergoing any reflexology treatments during pregnancy to ensure safety and suitability.
